Not bad, but not perfect! 2

After I now long enough with the non-poor, but insufficient:
Braun Series 1 / 190S Shaving, silver
had around annoyed, there should be a Philips again.
Offered is since a lot, in all price ranges.

The choice was ultimately because of the reviews on the:
Philips PT860 / 16 PowerTouch Plus Shaver

Here, the skin irritation should not be so violent that he had to rinse with water, the battery life is long, etc.

I ordered the device on Amazon, just in case that something goes wrong, -the are so wonderfully uncomplicated!

I got the unit quickly, the cardboard packaging very economical - more dead trees do not need it as well.
The PT860 / 16 was packed in a protective foam sheet, which was sealed with a seal. So you can be pretty sure that no one else had kept his beard to the shearing blades.

The battery was summoned, but I first connected it with the supplied battery charger.
Here again an own design, so you can not use just any cable store!

The device is slightly bulkier than selbt my old Philips it was.
If you want to put him somewhere he's always kind of a slight wobble :-(

The plastic looks a bit cheap - so as far as possible should not drop the razor!

The power button is a normal button today. The old-fashioned slide switch I found better since you can easily get to the button and the razor so also can turn quickly.
Bin times will behave as he stretched in toilet bag in the trunk in the distant United States. Hopefully that does not press the switch Deo !!!

The sound of the PT 860/16 is pleasantly quiet.

The three shaving heads are summarized in a very delicate cover.
The lid can no longer be easily removed, as before, but swinging spring loaded on to 90 °.

If you like to take the mechanics really time apart can be the cover but also pull together hinge.
Just like the looks but I do not do that too often, - acting all a bit fragile.
After all, the shaving heads can be beat very well in the unfolded state.
In addition, the whole thing is indeed to clean under running water.

The skin irritation is significantly less than with my old Philips indeed.
Nevertheless, it is very useful to disinfect the rotating shaving heads no later than every 2 weeks times with shaving cream (just over it pour). I use this a simple aftershave from the discounters, - pure alcohol it does.
The reddening of the skin go back so massive.

The shaving is good - if you consider some peculiarities of the shaving system.
On smooth surfaces such as the cheek, - perfectly
Between the upper lip and nose well, but you must halt "a long face make" then adjust the rounds heads are better then!
At the mandible along is a problem area.
I will solve the so that I leave including first 2 heads above the edge and the edge and abfahre, the whole in several angles, then again from the neck over the edge of the cheek.
This I catch the hair quite well.

The area between the chin and Adam's apple remains problematic even with the PT 860/16 with me, but I need most of the time. Have since apparently a vortex which shave only by violent changes of direction when, is to cope with simultaneous rotation of the razor.

The longhair Scheider intersects with me as it should.
However, the ergonomics is a bit unfortunate.
When PT 860/16 of longhair Scheider vibrates at about 90 ° to the device. Something more like my old Philips would be helpful and would certainly make it easier to use, so I have to stop slightly dislocate more.
In addition, the width of the long-hair trimmer is rather moderate.
The opening of the Schneiders is somewhat fiddly.

The battery life seems to be good, with me he holds now three weeks without fatigue, but my facial hair is not very lush.

Conclusion:
A good device with slight weaknesses in detail.
Price / performance barely adequate.
We'll see how long the blades stay sharp!
